Accessibility Services for Digital Agencies

You own the client relationship. CompliCorp supplies the accessibility expertise.

Digital agencies, web agencies, development firms, design agencies, marketing agencies, and software-development partners can add specialist accessibility support to an existing engagement. Your team brings knowledge of the client, design, and technology. CompliCorp contributes testing, clear findings, and guidance for the accessibility work.

We agree on how the teams will collaborate and how findings will reach the people responsible for corrections. That gives your agency a defined way to offer accessibility expertise without building an entire internal accessibility practice.

Why do digital agencies bring in an accessibility partner?

Agencies often need an accessibility testing partner when a client’s requirements extend beyond the team’s routine QA. That can happen before a proposal, during a redesign, or after a buyer asks for supporting documentation.

• An enterprise customer or RFP specifies accessibility requirements.
• A client asks for WCAG testing or raises ADA, Section 508, or EAA questions.
• A procurement team requests a VPAT/ACR, test evidence, or a remediation plan.
• A new website or application needs pre-launch accessibility QA.
• Developers need help interpreting findings and verifying fixes.
• Automated scans leave interaction, keyboard, and assistive-technology questions unanswered.

Accessibility outsourcing for agencies works best when the scope is clear: which tasks will be tested, who will fix barriers, and what the client will receive. W3C’s evaluation guidance explains why automated tools need knowledgeable human evaluation.

Accessibility services agencies can add

Select the services that match the client’s product and requirements. Each service has a defined scope and can be coordinated with the agency’s delivery plan.

Flexible partnership models

These engagement structures are available subject to the project scope. We agree on communications, branding, access, responsibilities, and any contractual terms before work begins.

How does an agency accessibility engagement work?

1. Your agency identifies a client requirement or project need and shares the product, timeline, and available information.
2. CompliCorp helps define the evaluation scope, standards, deliverables, access requirements, and each team’s responsibilities.
3. We perform manual and assistive-technology testing as appropriate for the agreed product and workflows.
4. We deliver findings and remediation guidance, with a review meeting to explain the issues and next steps.
5. The agency and/or client development teams implement fixes, with technical guidance included as agreed.
6. CompliCorp retests the selected corrections where requested and records what has been resolved or remains open.
7. Additional documentation, procurement support, or future release reviews can follow under the agreed scope.

Support across the client lifecycle

Accessibility can be part of the project from the first proposal through ongoing support. The stages below show where specialist input can fit; the sequence and depth depend on the client’s needs.

1. Proposal/RFP
2. Design
3. Development
4. Pre-launch QA
5. Audit
6. Remediation
7. Retesting
8. Ongoing support

During design, we can review planned patterns and interactions. During development, we can evaluate implemented components and representative tasks. Before launch, testing can identify barriers that need attention. After fixes, retesting checks the agreed changes; recurring work can address later releases.

When your agency client needs a VPAT/ACR

An agency may build or maintain a product long before the client receives its first accessibility documentation request. An enterprise, university, government buyer, or procurement team may then ask for a completed VPAT-based Accessibility Conformance Report.

Our VPAT/ACR services connect the requested report to the product version, appropriate edition, and actual evaluation evidence. The VPAT is the template; the ACR is the completed report. ITI explains the reporting format and editions.

When the client needs testing, documentation, and a remediation roadmap together, accessibility procurement readiness support can coordinate those deliverables. For ongoing product work, see how we support SaaS and software teams.

ADA, Section 508, and EAA client requests

Client accessibility requests can arise from different markets, organizational policies, and buyer requirements. Ask for the actual contract language or accessibility request before selecting a standard or promising a deliverable.

For a federal-facing project, our Section 508 accessibility services address the applicable ICT scope. For relevant European-market projects, our European Accessibility Act accessibility services support technical evaluation and readiness evidence.

When an agency seeks an ADA accessibility partner, CompliCorp can provide WCAG evaluation and remediation guidance for the digital experience. Legal applicability and legal conclusions remain with the client and qualified counsel. We do not present an audit, ACR, or partnership as a guarantee of legal compliance.

• Technical collaboration: review with product, design, development, and QA teams.
• Procurement documentation: reporting and explanations that remain consistent with evaluation evidence.
• Flexible engagement structures: an agreed role behind the scenes, alongside the team, or in client conversations.
